The Book Of Abraham: An Ongoing Research Focus
The Book Of Abraham: An Ongoing Research Focus
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
In 1998 FARMS’s longtime interest in advancing research supportive of the Book of Abraham as an ancient text found new emphasis and direction as a formalized FARMS project, an impetus made possible by a farsighted donor: the Robert Gay family. Soon a working group of scholars was convened to exchange research and ideas on the text. The resulting exchange of information led to FARMS-sponsored public lectures and a scholarly conference in 1999. The next year saw publication of John Gee’s Guide to the Joseph Smith Papyri and, fortuitously, an enlarged edition of Hugh Nibley’s Abraham in Egypt (a project years …
Neal A. Maxwell Institute Hosts Conference On Avicenna
Neal A. Maxwell Institute Hosts Conference On Avicenna
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
There are few figures in the history of Islamic thought whose stature can rival that of Ibn Sina (980–1037), or Avicenna, as he came to be known in the Latin West. Educated at Bukhara, in modern-day Uzbekistan, Avicenna was, by his own admission, a prodigy and recognized as such early on. If there is a certain lack of modesty in his making that claim, there is no disputing that he had the credentials to back it up. He was forced by the turbulent politics of his day to move a number of times, but through it all he never stopped …

“ America Reads” And The Book Of Mormon, D. Todd Christofferson
Religious Educator: Perspectives on the Restored Gospel
Between 1828 and 1831, the American Bible Society launched an aggressive campaign to put a copy of the Old and New Testament in every American home. During those three years, over 500,000 copies of “the Good Book” were printed and distributed across the country, illustrating just how much Protestant Americans considered themselves to be a God-fearing and Bible-believing people. At the same time of the American Bible Society’s ambitious initiative, a young man named Joseph Smith from upstate New York was translating and printing an additional sacred book of scripture, eventually published as the Book of Mormon.

The Lotthers: Forgotten Printers Of The Reformation, W. G. Tillmanns
The Lotthers: Forgotten Printers Of The Reformation, W. G. Tillmanns
Concordia Theological Monthly
The name Lotther is so similar to that of our Reformer that it must arouse the curiosity of the reader when he finds this name recorded in Luther's correspondence. Yet most Luther biographies do not even mention this name, and those that do pass it over lightly. Thus the family which has rendered outstanding service to the cause of the Reformation is today all but forgotten.
